Chapter 112 Tang San: Who do you think you are?
"This, this spirit ring ratio, how is this possible? You, what exactly are you?!" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. Huo Yuhao's spirit ring ratio completely overturned his understanding of the world of spirit masters. A deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart, as if all his efforts and cultivation had become insignificant in front of Huo Yuhao.
The old man, who had been sitting steadily in his chair, could no longer remain seated. He jumped up and stared at Huo Yuhao with burning fervor. His eyes were filled with disbelief and excitement, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.
The young man before him was actually a four-ring Soul Master, and his second Soul Ring was a thousand years old, while his fourth Soul Ring was ten thousand years old. Such an exaggerated Soul Ring ratio was something the old man had never seen before in his life. He was secretly amazed; Huo Yuhao's talent was simply unprecedented and unparalleled.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, also opened her mouth slightly. At the same age of twelve, Huo Yuhao was already a Soul Master of more than forty levels, and the ratio of his Soul Rings was so terrifying.
Ning Rongrong had always considered herself a genius. She had been pampered in her family since childhood and was hailed as exceptionally gifted. However, compared to Huo Yuhao, her brilliance seemed to dim instantly. Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly, deciding against the comparison. She declared she didn't want to compete with this monster, Huo Yuhao. For the first time, she felt defeated and inferior in Huo Yuhao's presence.
"Welcome to Shrek Academy, child. On behalf of all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, I welcome you."
The old man stepped forward excitedly and grasped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, as if afraid Huo Yuhao would run away. If a genius like Huo Yuhao really got away, he would probably be so angry that he would wake up in his sleep, and Flander would be furious to death. The old man secretly decided that no matter what, he had to keep this genius boy.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Dai Mubai immediately stood up from his seat: "Teacher, this is not in accordance with the regulations. Huo Yuhao's bone age has not been measured..." Dai Mubai's voice was tinged with urgency.
The old man's eyes were sharp as he glared at Dai Mubai. His voice was filled with unwavering determination: "Rules? What rules? Isn't the greatest principle of Shrek Academy to recruit monsters? Don't think Huo Yuhao is only twelve years old. Even if he were fifteen or sixteen, he would still be a genius!"
"Teacher, but…" Dai Mubai wanted to continue arguing, trying to persuade the old man to reconsider his decision. However, the old man waved his hand, interrupting him directly: "Alright, Mubai, don't be so serious. This matter is settled. If Dean Flander were sitting here, he would probably make the same decision."
Seeing the old man's resolute gaze, Dai Mubai, though unwilling, knew that further argument would be futile. Just as the old man said, if Flander were to actually be present, Dean Flander would likely be even more excited.
Dai Mubai watched with utter despair as Huo Yuhao and the other two passed the test. His emotions were incredibly complex. Only when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu approaching did he regain a glimmer of hope.
Although Huo Yuhao is talented and strong, Tang San is no less so. Recalling the confrontation between Huo Yuhao and Tang San yesterday, Dai Mubai could almost conclude that there was a major conflict between them.
Once Tang San and Xiao Wu enroll, along with Oscar and Ma Hongjun, there will be five of them on his side. Five against three, the advantage is in my hands. Just thinking about this, Dai Mubai felt his back straighten up again.
As Dai Mubai expected, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully passed the test. Dai Mubai immediately ran over to congratulate them, and Tang San and Dai Mubai had a very pleasant conversation.
However, Xiao Wu's attitude towards Dai Mubai was completely different. She seemed to have no liking for Dai Mubai, and even felt some aversion towards him. When she saw Tang San and Dai Mubai chatting so congenially, a strange displeasure welled up in her heart. Xiao Wu didn't say anything, and simply turned and left angrily.
Tang San was engrossed in his conversation with Dai Mubai when he suddenly realized that Xiao Wu had already run off alone. He immediately abandoned Dai Mubai and chased after Xiao Wu. As he ran, he called out, "Xiao Wu, wait for your brother! Why did you run off alone?"
Finally, Tang San caught up with Xiao Wu. He gently took her hand and said with a helpless expression, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu stomped hard on Tang San's instep and scolded him irritably, "Xiao San, you're not allowed to hang out with that Dai Mubai anymore, understand? They're all shady characters."
Tang San was somewhat confused. He remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Wu, while initially disliking Dai Mubai, didn't seem to have reached this level of disgust. He tried to defend Dai Mubai: "Xiao Wu, well, Dai Mubai, he's not that bad, is he...?"
He recalled that in his previous life, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai's relationship, though not close, was at least peaceful. In this life, Xiao Wu's dislike for Dai Mubai seemed to have deepened, which puzzled him.
Xiao Wu, hands on her hips, said angrily, "Hmph, I heard Dai Mubai and Huo Yuhao's conversation clearly yesterday. This Dai Mubai is no good at all. He indulges in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. He even abandoned his fiancée. Are you going to be like Dai Mubai too?" Xiao Wu's voice was full of dissatisfaction and anger. She couldn't stand people like Dai Mubai the most.
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would never imitate Dai Mubai, while secretly delighted. He understood that Xiao Wu was clearly concerned about and trying to keep him in check.
In this life, Xiao Wu wasn't as clingy as she was in the previous one, which troubled Tang San. Now it seems he was worrying unnecessarily; Xiao Wu was still the same Xiao Wu, the Xiao Wu who loved him the most.
At this moment, Tang San couldn't care less about Dai Mubai. After all, Xiao Wu was his precious darling. What was Dai Mubai compared to him? If Xiao Wu truly hated Dai Mubai in this life, then this lecherous tiger could just stay in Douluo Continent. His ambition to ascend to the God Realm was utterly delusional!
After coaxing Xiao Wu for a while, Tang San and Xiao Wu snuggled together again, completely ignoring Dai Mubai who had been left behind.
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were walking further and further away, and Huo Yuhao and the other two at the front with a desolate expression. He felt that his nose was red and his head was green.
Dai Mubai couldn't help but glare at Xiao Wu resentfully from behind. It was all this little brat's fault that her plan had fallen through before it even began.
Of course, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were walking ahead, did not notice Dai Mubai's resentful gaze. Otherwise, with Tang San's words of "death sentence," Dai Mubai would have been nailed to some desolate corner by the King of Hell's decree.
After all, in Tang San's mind, everyone can be divided into the following categories: Xiao Wu, family, tools, and enemies. As for where Dai Mubai is classified, hehe, you guess?
